If you are a student who took the JAMB exam, it is important to confirm that your name is on the JAMB Matriculation List. This list confirms that your admission into a Nigerian university or other higher institution is valid. If your name is not on the matriculation list, you will not be recognized as a bonafide student of the institution, and it could prevent you from participating in important programs like the NYSC (National Youth Service Corps).
In this article, we will explain everything you need to know about the JAMB Matriculation List for 2025/2026 and how to check your name online.
What is the JAMB Matriculation List?
The JAMB Matriculation List is a list of all students who have been properly admitted into accredited institutions in Nigeria through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). The list is available online and can be accessed through JAMB’s eFacility portal. Only candidates whose names appear on this list are officially recognized as students by the JAMB.
Why is the JAMB Matriculation List Important?
It is crucial to confirm that your name is on the JAMB Matriculation List for the following reasons:
- NYSC Registration: If your name is not on the matriculation list, you will not be able to register for the NYSC program after completing your degree. NYSC is a one-year national service program that is mandatory for Nigerian graduates.
- Recognition as a Student: Being on the matriculation list means you are officially recognized as a student of a Nigerian university or higher institution. Without this confirmation, your admission is not considered valid by JAMB.

What to Do if Your Name is Not on the Matriculation List
If your name does not appear on the JAMB Matriculation List, it means that your admission is not recognized by JAMB, and you need to take the following steps to rectify the issue:
- Print Your Admission Letter: Log in to the JAMB eFacility portal and print your JAMB admission letter. This letter shows that you were properly admitted through JAMB.
- Print Your Result Slip: Also, print your JAMB result slip from the eFacility platform. This document contains your exam results and registration details.
- Verify Your Documents with Your School: After printing your admission letter and result slip, take these documents to the admission office of your institution to verify them. The school will confirm your admission status with JAMB.
Common Reasons Why a Name Might Be Missing from the JAMB Matriculation List
- Wrong Admission Process: If you gained admission through a method not recognized by JAMB (e.g., direct admission without using JAMB), your name may not appear on the list.
- Non-Acceptance of Admission on JAMB CAPS: You must accept your admission through the JAMB CAPS system. If you don’t, JAMB will not recognize your admission, and your name won’t be on the list.
- Issues with O’Level Result: If your O’level results are not uploaded or are incorrect, your name may not be added to the list.
- No JAMB Regularization: If you gained admission through pre-degree, diploma, or other programs without JAMB, you need to undergo JAMB regularization to have your name included on the list.
Conclusion
The JAMB Matriculation List is an essential part of your academic journey in Nigeria. If your name is not on this list, it could cause problems, especially when registering for NYSC. By following the steps above, you can easily check if your name is on the JAMB Matriculation List for 2025/2026. Make sure to take immediate action if your name is missing, as it is crucial to fix this issue for your education and future opportunities.
